I see there is a book with the same title by Scott Mitchell Rosenberg (2006) and wonder if it is the same thing but this Vinge one is the one I have.Okay have the facts now - the Rosenberg is the graphic novel that the film is based on and this Vinge is the novelisation of the screenplay. Gets confu...
OK, I am going to describe a scene to you, and I want you to then tell me which famous science-fiction property it comes from. Ready?So, this is the climax of the middle part of the story. The hero finally meets up with the primary antagonist. They go head-to-head in a duel on a narrow bridge over a...
It's been awhile since I read this book but I do recall enjoying it as much as I loved the movie. There were extra scenes that went into more detail of scenes from the movie. The scene where Mouse is telling Navarre about what Isabeau spoke the night after the wolf hunt is an example. Which is one o...
Chosen as the science fiction selection for July 2011 by the SciFi & Fantasy Book Club. To peruse the discussion from the group read, click here. I know it's September now, but I'm still very interested in finishing this novel and reviewing it soon.
I really liked this! Its a collection of short stories written by female science fiction writers betwen the 40's and 70's.

edited by Robin McKinleyThis the second time I've read this anthology. Oddly enough, I think I liked it more this time around. There were still a few stories I wasn't as wild about. But "Flight" by Peter Dickinson, "The Old Woman and the Storm" by Patricia McKillip, and "The Stone Fey" by Robin M...
A perfectly fine cop/crime solving novel. But it's pretty much a straightforward genre adventure, and it really suffers in comparison to works of the scope and ambition of Snow/Summer Queen. If it wasn't advertised as a sequel to those two excellent works, I think I would have liked it more. Still, ...
This early book by Vinge is actually a "double" of two novellas:Fireship is sort of a proto-cyberpunk heist adventure - our "hero" is the first person to have his consciousness linked with a computer. He was only an experimental subject, but once the computer linked with his brain, it achieved senti...
One of my all time favorite books. It's a rich tale full of characters, worlds, and vast cultures. In fact this book helped fuel my interest in Cultural Anthropology - which makes sense as Vinge IS an Anthropologist and it shows in her work.
